Is Go Blue Wolverine (the magazine) a good magazine subscription?

Submitted by tick on

I saw the add on Scout.com and wanted the hear from some people who have or had a subscription to Go Blue Wolverine. Last year I saw the magazine at a store and it coast around $17. But with this deal you get 10 issues for $39.99. I dont know if I should just buy the one recruiting issue, or are all the issues quality?

Get the annual pass to gobluewolverine.com.. You get the annual subscription to the magazine, plus the recruiting issue, plus full access to the website for $99

Scout and Rivals are fine. They have their local and national staff and therefor bring you content in great detail. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

I used to subscribe to Rivals and thought I would not be able to live without my access to The Fort, ITF Extras, and the Weekly Recruiting Roundup.

MGoBlog is all I needed in the end. So, I decided to spend that $99/yr on other things. Though, a donation to Brian & Co is in order.

The previous tenant in my apartment had a subscription and 3 issues were delivered to us that were supposed to go to him.

There were a couple of interesting articles (the ones that come to mind are an interview with Frieder and one on the real history of the Brown Jug, trophy not bar), but the material on the M-blogosphere is much better, more timely, and free.

Plus you won't have to deal with all the grammar, punctuation, and general is-there-no-editor-for-this-magazine(??) errors that drove me crazy whenever I read it.

Scout's message board has the best insider info and rumors and stuff, but viewing it regularly probably decreases your overall well-being pretty substantially. The magazine is pretty worthless, so getting it without the website seems like a total waste. I don't get Rivals' magazine and maybe it's better, but the premium content on their website is vastly inferior to Scout.

Scout is STRICTLY for the mindless kool-aider. Period. The magazine was written, edited, and published with functional illiterates as the assumed audience. Unless said functional illiterates were older than 12--in which case they probably have a Scout membership to graduate to.

Subscribe--read, but don't post. You literally are dealing with some of the most ignorant people on the planet (ALL of 'em) on Scout's message boards.
